00:00:05.285 --> 00:00:06.695
This is the two bucket station.

1
00:00:06.955 --> 00:00:11.335
Um, so I'll use the two bucket station for highlighting any

2
00:00:11.395 --> 00:00:14.055
of your, uh, lateral pivot movement.

3
00:00:14.315 --> 00:00:16.415
Um, I have even used it in a pinch

4
00:00:16.475 --> 00:00:19.775
for working on some early extension or some loss of posture.

5
00:00:20.195 --> 00:00:22.815
Um, but I find it best for working on, um,

6
00:00:23.035 --> 00:00:26.175
the sway slide component of the centerness of your pivot

7
00:00:26.315 --> 00:00:28.455
or the weight shift or, or things like that.

8
00:00:28.875 --> 00:00:30.375
So one of the challenges

9
00:00:30.375 --> 00:00:32.015
for golf is when we're down in this angle,

10
00:00:32.125 --> 00:00:34.775
like sometimes our spatial awareness is a lot trickier than

11
00:00:34.775 --> 00:00:36.535
if we're playing sports where we're more upright.

12
00:00:36.955 --> 00:00:41.575
Um, so by using two buckets or trash cans

13
00:00:41.755 --> 00:00:45.255
or, um, you know, even water bottles can help a little bit.

14
00:00:45.515 --> 00:00:48.255
It helps kind of enhance the space

15
00:00:48.255 --> 00:00:49.575
that I'm swinging a golf club in.

16
00:00:49.675 --> 00:00:53.175
So I use this as a spatial awareness kind of station.

17
00:00:53.795 --> 00:00:57.095
Um, I also find that this type of station works really well

18
00:00:57.115 --> 00:00:58.255
for training at home.

19
00:00:58.675 --> 00:01:01.655
Or when you have to hit off mats, it's not as great on grass

20
00:01:01.655 --> 00:01:04.095
where you have to keep moving it, um,

21
00:01:04.145 --> 00:01:06.255
every time you hit a golf ball, right?

22
00:01:06.255 --> 00:01:09.255
Because, uh, as the golf ball, uh,

23
00:01:09.255 --> 00:01:11.095
ball position changes, you'd have to move the station.

24
00:01:11.275 --> 00:01:13.895
So, for hitting off mats, training at home,

25
00:01:14.055 --> 00:01:15.135
I think this can be really helpful.

26
00:01:15.715 --> 00:01:18.255
The most common times that I'll use it are for

27
00:01:18.945 --> 00:01:20.935
sways in the backswing, um,

28
00:01:21.385 --> 00:01:25.495
upper body sways in the backswing, during the downswing,

29
00:01:26.175 --> 00:01:27.935
a slide and tilt back,

30
00:01:28.395 --> 00:01:31.455
or during the downswing a little bit more of a, uh,

31
00:01:31.455 --> 00:01:34.255
forward lunge where that upper body gets too far on top,

32
00:01:34.255 --> 00:01:35.295
especially with the driver.

33
00:01:35.715 --> 00:01:38.935
Um, so I most commonly use it for those, uh,

34
00:01:39.245 --> 00:01:40.495
kind of lateral movements.

35
00:01:40.495 --> 00:01:44.135
But as far as thrust, some people will be, you'll be able

36
00:01:44.195 --> 00:01:48.215
to see where you are better, especially, um, you, it's,

37
00:01:48.215 --> 00:01:51.215
this one's really hard for feeling the lower body shifting

38
00:01:51.235 --> 00:01:53.135
in towards the golf ball, but this is really good

39
00:01:53.155 --> 00:01:55.335
for people whose upper body moves backward.

40
00:01:55.635 --> 00:01:59.095
Um, because if it moves backward too much, I will see the,

41
00:01:59.155 --> 00:02:02.655
the buckets or the trash cans move in my peripheral.

42
00:02:02.875 --> 00:02:04.455
If I focus on staying down,

43
00:02:04.715 --> 00:02:06.975
it looks like they've stayed kind of the same distance,

44
00:02:06.975 --> 00:02:10.255
or my body has stayed the same distance ahead of those, uh,

45
00:02:10.255 --> 00:02:11.335
those trash cans.

46
00:02:11.595 --> 00:02:15.495
So I use this again for a variety of different, uh, drills

47
00:02:15.675 --> 00:02:17.455
or a variety of different concepts.

48
00:02:17.635 --> 00:02:19.415
Um, but it's just one really good way

49
00:02:19.415 --> 00:02:20.975
for working on the lateral components

50
00:02:21.075 --> 00:02:22.255
to your, to your pivot.

51
00:02:22.755 --> 00:02:26.935
So oftentimes what I'll do is I'll put a t on the ground so

52
00:02:26.935 --> 00:02:29.695
that we know exactly where the ball position is, um,

53
00:02:29.795 --> 00:02:31.335
and then we'll get set up

54
00:02:31.335 --> 00:02:33.295
and I'll just have you take a few practice swings

55
00:02:33.295 --> 00:02:36.215
and we'll pretend I've got a little bit more of a slide.

56
00:02:36.435 --> 00:02:38.215
So I'm going to try and feel,

57
00:02:38.475 --> 00:02:40.975
or sorry, a little bit more of a sway from the lower body

58
00:02:40.975 --> 00:02:41.975
kind of going more like this.

59
00:02:42.235 --> 00:02:46.215
So I'm gonna try and make a few swings where I turn

60
00:02:46.435 --> 00:02:49.655
and I can use where my leg is compared to this bucket.

61
00:02:49.875 --> 00:02:51.455
Um, as a little bit of feedback.

62
00:02:51.755 --> 00:02:53.495
Um, the other good one,

63
00:02:53.565 --> 00:02:56.295
like I said in the backswing would be for golfers who tend

64
00:02:56.295 --> 00:02:58.935
to have a little bit too much of a lateral movement

65
00:02:58.935 --> 00:03:01.245
of the upper body or kind of stay flexed forward.

66
00:03:01.665 --> 00:03:04.445
Um, in that case, oftentimes it'll look like this

67
00:03:04.445 --> 00:03:05.965
where my lower body moves away

68
00:03:05.965 --> 00:03:08.125
and my upper body gets all the way on top of it.

69
00:03:08.425 --> 00:03:10.085
So I'll say, okay, you see that bucket?

70
00:03:10.405 --> 00:03:12.805
I want you to keep your chest, um,

71
00:03:12.945 --> 00:03:15.045
the same distance away from the bucket

72
00:03:15.505 --> 00:03:16.925
as you make your turn,

73
00:03:17.065 --> 00:03:18.365
but I want your lower body

74
00:03:18.425 --> 00:03:20.325
to actually get a little bit closer to it.

75
00:03:20.745 --> 00:03:22.885
Um, so that would be kind of the most common ways

76
00:03:23.155 --> 00:03:26.525
that I would use this for a, uh, back swinging drill,

77
00:03:28.215 --> 00:03:30.325
kinda like that reasonable.

78
00:03:30.785 --> 00:03:34.965
Um, now the other ways that I'll use it on the downswing,

79
00:03:35.185 --> 00:03:38.605
um, would be for too much of a hang back.

80
00:03:38.605 --> 00:03:41.365
So if I need to get a little bit more of the Jackson five,

81
00:03:41.435 --> 00:03:44.885
I'll feel like, okay, I need to get my hips over

82
00:03:44.885 --> 00:03:47.645
that front ankle while my upper body stays more

83
00:03:47.805 --> 00:03:49.085
centered, kinda like this.

84
00:03:49.425 --> 00:03:53.205
Um, but some people tend to go too long or too late.

85
00:03:53.425 --> 00:03:57.365
So I'll often say I want your, uh,

86
00:03:57.455 --> 00:04:00.245
we're positioning it just outside the foot, um,

87
00:04:00.305 --> 00:04:02.725
and I don't want your knee to, to touch it,

88
00:04:02.725 --> 00:04:04.845
but you're gonna try to get your knee behind it.

89
00:04:04.905 --> 00:04:08.205
So this will help you feel like a little bit of that bump

90
00:04:09.585 --> 00:04:12.645
and then a little bit better turn on the way through

91
00:04:12.765 --> 00:04:15.445
that can help into getting more into this kind

92
00:04:15.445 --> 00:04:16.765
of firm posting position.

93
00:04:18.595 --> 00:04:21.165
Last two would be from the top of the swing.

94
00:04:21.185 --> 00:04:25.085
If the upper body goes too far backward, um, I often do

95
00:04:25.085 --> 00:04:26.125
that one with a pool noodle.

96
00:04:26.265 --> 00:04:29.085
Um, but this can be a really easy station for setting up

97
00:04:29.085 --> 00:04:31.885
where, um, sometimes setting up the pool noodle is a little

98
00:04:31.885 --> 00:04:34.245
bit harder, um, for people to do at home.

99
00:04:35.225 --> 00:04:37.325
Um, so in that case, what I'm gonna try

100
00:04:37.325 --> 00:04:40.725
to do is I'm gonna feel like my upper body stays closer

101
00:04:40.905 --> 00:04:43.885
to this front bucket instead of the back bucket.

102
00:04:44.625 --> 00:04:47.165
So we'll get up there, we'll feel like we post

103
00:04:47.185 --> 00:04:51.085
and cover kind of like that.

104
00:04:51.545 --> 00:04:54.045
Um, so like I said, this goes back to kind

105
00:04:54.045 --> 00:04:55.765
of the old centered pivot ideas

106
00:04:55.865 --> 00:04:57.765
of feel like you're turning in a barrel.

107
00:04:58.145 --> 00:05:00.245
Um, but really you can use this for fine tuning

108
00:05:00.265 --> 00:05:02.125
and refining some of your lateral movement.

109
00:05:02.395 --> 00:05:05.205
Lateral movement has a big impact on low point control.

110
00:05:05.225 --> 00:05:08.325
So if you struggle with, uh, consistency of contact,

111
00:05:08.455 --> 00:05:09.925
especially with your short clubs,

112
00:05:10.115 --> 00:05:11.725
this is something to take a look at.

113
00:05:12.025 --> 00:05:15.365
Um, it can also, uh, too much tilt one way

114
00:05:15.365 --> 00:05:18.805
or the other can, uh, result in some release issues.

115
00:05:18.865 --> 00:05:21.125
So if you have a hard time maintaining your width on the way

116
00:05:21.125 --> 00:05:23.645
through, uh, it's a good idea to at least diagnose

117
00:05:23.645 --> 00:05:25.005
and look at what type

118
00:05:25.005 --> 00:05:27.005
of lateral movement you might be struggling with.
